Inverter vs OctoPulse

This simple app allows you to monitor and control your GivEnergy inverter(s). They should have static IP addresses, set either in the inverter itself or in your router. Up to four inverters may be connected, but the app treats them entirely independently, not as a 'plant'. To force the app to request the IP address(es) again open the iOS 'Files' app, select 'On your iPad/iPhone' then 'Inverter' and delete the file inverter.dat.

OctoPulse turns your Octopus Energy smart meter data into three simple daily rings, so you can see at a glance how today is going and what to do about it. THREE DAILY RINGS • Save: spend less than a usual day • Shift (or Trim): use more electricity when it's cheap, or cut your always-on baseload • Green: use power when the grid is cleanest Prefer the original OctoPulse view? Switch the rings to Spend, Electricity and Gas against your 30-day average. EVERY NUMBER, IN FULL Tap any reading (power right now, price, electricity, gas, unit price, baseload, peak share or carbon) to see it over 30 days to a year, with your normal range, your weekly pattern, trends and what it means. PRICES AND GREENER HOURS Agile and other time-of-use prices for the next 12 hours, with the cheapest window highlighted and a reminder before it starts. On flat tariffs, the greenest hours on the grid instead. LIVE WITH HOME MINI See what your home is using right now, updated every few seconds. HISTORY AND CALENDAR Day, week, month and year views with compare, plus a calendar that shows which days ran high for any metric. FRIENDS AND OCTO Swap rings with friends, and ask Octo, the built-in assistant, why yesterday cost more.
